My bike shop does have an ST2 demo and I got to take it out. It's amazing and I wish I were on an ST2.

Whoops, fixed that to ST1. Had been reading about the 2 just before writing and must have had temporal dyslexia.

I just passed 100 miles in less than 2 weeks with about 10 days of riding. For living in San Francisco, the ST1 has been an amazing way to get around. It hasn't cut down on my commute much, because I keep finding reasons to go five miles out of my way (I tried breakfast at a coffee shop I had...

Shudder is the wrong way to describe it. But at very low speed, the motor can be rough, especially when it's doing most of the work. It's still working, but it's not buttery smooth.

I rode my ST1 to work today for the first time. Absolutely amazing. The best commute I've had in years. I was faster than light rail or a taxi and averaged over 10mph (San Francisco has a stoplight every few hundred feet, so this is amazing). I got to work feeling great, with an elevated heart...

That video was a bit more exciting than I expected. But it looks like you were really moving fast and before the near miss, looked like a lot of fun. I bike a lot in the city and here it's the busses that cut you off.

Thanks again everyone. I decided to go with the oh so slightly stiffer normal frame. I really like the space inside the frame for a lock or other accessories. It was close, but I'm pretty sure I was getting the bike to flex at least a little bit with the step-thru design. The best part is that...

Mark, Would you say the flex is a deal breaker? I was torn between the two models, but if I ever get a trunk or rear basket, the step-thru is far more usable to me. But I'd hate to have the bike not work very well as a bike. Thanks.

I decided to jump on the deal and earlier this evening I got an ST1 Elite. I got the step-thru frame in black, fully loaded with the bigger battery and the city kit. I think the normal frame looks better, but with a basket or cargo on the back, the step-thru is so much easier to use. They were...

Thanks, "86" I'm very interested in the ST 2, but also looking for a commuter bike now. I figure in a year, if I'm using my bike all the time, I'll sell the ST1 and get a 2. I'm mostly sold on the step thru frame, but it just doesn't look quite as nice. Then again, with a rack and bags, it just...

So here's the next question. Normal frame or step through? I think the normal one looks better, but with a rack and street clothing, stepping through just seems so practical. Is there any major difference in frame stiffness?

Thanks for the support everyone. I'm primarily getting an e-bike as a way to get around San Francisco, commuting and otherwise, so mostly 6 to 10 mile round trips with some hills. I started looking at the Elite because of that. Then my brain started wandering... I sometimes bike down to Palo...

I weigh about 300lbs. I'm also a fairly experienced distance cyclist, slowly completing multiple half century rides in the last year. When biking I have to be in the right mindset, because it's not easy for me, and this mindset is not what one needs when leaving work late at night. Hence I'm...
